It does? I forgotActually one nav point, the second, one has only ONE Vindicator.
Methinks you just answered your own question, Penguin
IndeedYou could also try bringing the fight more towards the higher terrain. Nice thing about ground missions is that the fighters and misiles that come after you fly into the ground a lot as long as you can stay low. Just make sure you don't fly into it

Heh... I finished the mission, thanks to taking out those turrets! Here's what I did:
- Took out the Banshees normally. They're annoying when they get behind you though...
- Took out the turret, used one missile per Vindicator. (2)
- Took out the turret, used the missile to crunch the Vindicator.
- Took out the turret, nuked the two Vindicators.
Of course, take for granted that I snapped all the pictures I needed at each base point, and the missiles I used were IR. It should be noted that if you miss taking pictures at any nav on the planet, you'll have to face a Banshee ace and another Banshee upon exiting the planet.
How fun. Aw well... I'm done that mission. One missile per ship... how cool!

Hmmmmm. Everytime I try to get the turrets with guns they stuff a missile in my face. So I use missiles on the turrets and consequentially haven't enough missiles for all the Vindicators.
Interestingly enough if you play WC to see how many kills you can get you'd actually want to fail this mission

Well, the thing I noticed, is that if you let your wingman loose when there is more than one fighter around, your wingman will get fried in less than thirty seconds.
Perhaps I would benefit by reducing the difficulty?
Heh... as a note, I fly at about rookie level with a keyboard, but an ace level with a joystick. aw well... WCIV just pisses me off. But at least the enemy dies as easily as you do.

One annoying thing about WC4.
I always try to use Leeches in WC4 (don't like to kill humans) and noticed one dumb thing. If You try use Leech missiles (or guns) in some missions You'll disable these ships, yes, but You'll fail the objectives. Like in mission when You cover marines in approach to the Science Lab, or if You leave leeched those Confed destroyers and frigate later(while serving UBWSF). Dumb AI counts leeched ships as 'alive' and You will fail the mission. So, I've forced to destroy those helpless poor ships. And I don't like it.

It's war Black Joker. Nobody said it'd be easy.
Saturnye: Yeah one missile will kill me in a Hellcat. Heck in WC4 a single missile hit will either kill you or leave you hurting big time. I'd rather fly the 'bow on that mission. Heck I'd rather fly the 'bow then the Hellcat any day.

Question... was I supposed to shoot down Vagabond? The mission after that is so hard... wing after wing of fighters, and I always get blitzed at the first nav point.
What are some tips for survival? I mean, the challenge is good and stuff, but it's a little outrageous... especially since they can bring you down with so much less than you can bring them down, at least in terms of guns. And you can't rely on missiles, because you only have so many...
